Blend the Dodge imagination with the power of a pickup truck and let the fun begin. Some of the special edition Dodge trucks looked like Hot Wheels trucks come to life, which was the intention of the designers. The “toy trucks for the street” made by Dodge gave us a new twist on the fun and style of a truck. Adding a bit of Mopar goodness never hurt, bringing a bit more of the fun to the market.

The first of the unique Dodge pickups was the 1976 Warlock. This truck offered a short-wheelbase and came in the 2WD D100 model or the 4WD W100 version. The Warlock was sporty with its bucket seats and chrome-plated running boards. The interior was black, and gold pin striping on the hood, tailgate, and sides was a signature look for this Dodge truck.

Some people have seen this truck and know how cook it was. The Lil Red Express arrived in 1978 and showed off hot rod style in truck form. This truck was powerful and fun in its D150 half-ton pickup build with a massive 360-cubic inch V8 engine. Of course, the Lil Red Express was only offered in bright red, hence the name.

This truck was meant for manly men, but women who wanted the rugged power were also welcome. The Macho Power Wagon was built for toughness among the special edition Dodge trucks. This big truck was based on the W100 Sweptline and came in short and long-bed versions. This was one of the first trucks to come with a factory-installed roll bar, giving it an even more macho feeling.
